I’m packing for 5 days in Dallas… at the Mary Kay Seminar! This is my first year going. I’m beyond excited. 5 days with thousands of Mary Kay women who are serious about their business. Tons of training from top directors and national sales directors. Prizes. Parties. New Products. AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Just like when I pack…

Nope, not a get-away car. Although, that sounds really nice right now! I’ve been encouraged to share how I pack so light when I travel. It all started when I was in 9th grade. I went on a week long summer trip to Colorado Springs and all I packed was a backpack and a fanny…

Have you ever experienced a personal revelation while shopping? I hope it’s not just me. I was driving home in pouring rain a couple weeks ago (2.5 hrs from home) and I pulled off and decided to walk around a department store for a little while and wait out the rain. I knew that going…

Affirmations. I tend to roll my eyes a little bit when I hear that word. It evokes images of someone looking into a mirror and lying to themselves. Or… Gaston (am I right?!).

People don’t believe in ghosts anymore. I certainly didn’t. I lived in a place officially registered as haunted, and I lived there for four years. I never saw any bloody water. Never heard the screams of the dead and the dying. But now… now I’m back. Only slightly older, but with different eyes. Now I…

First, I want to confess that it really annoys me when people announce that they are giving up Facebook for Lent or just taking a break. It’s even worse when they delete their account entirely and tell everyone to just keep in touch with them the old fashioned way: via email and texting 😉 I…

Ready? This all feels oddly familiar. It’s been a year and a half in one place and now what? We’re moving again! Changing jobs! Looking for a job! Heading to a place we are very excited to get to. But wait… there’s something different this time… oh yeah! A BABY IS COMING AT THE…

Let’s just say life happened and leave it at that? 🙂 Quick recap of July till now: – August: Moved into our very own house! Adorable little 3 bedroom 1940’s cottage. Corner lot. Fenced in yard for the dog. Firepit. Basement for Ryan’s mancave. Extra room(s) for Emily’s sewing (of which I haven’t done a…
